i am doing a powerpoint presentation under photo album format and I don't
want the white bacground.. Can I have the pictures show up alone without any
background?

thanks

You can't have invisible background. You can though, set the background to
black. To do so, click Format > Background. Click on the dropdown, select
black. Then click Apply to all.

FWIW in 2007 pictures import as actual pictures rather than fills... Just so
